So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.

PRELIM LAND PLANNING- do a preliminary layout, please remember stream buffers, specimen trees, ANY jurisdictional waters (its a good idea to have you county water systems guy come walk your property with you to verify any jurisdictional water systems and what the required state and county buffers are for those systems).

Unless you are getting a bank loan and are willing to accept higher interest rates and balloon payoffs, buying within an LLC is not a clear-cut decision.An LLC can be created very quickly and should costs under $1K, but you need to know there will be costs and time to maintain that LLC every year.  

Have you called your bank/servicer to talk about your options? 

Or, are the failed projects going to kingmade investors that have "special" relationships with the lending banks? 

Some jurisdictions are taking the statewide ADU rules and going much further extreme.  

Quote from @Sonja Revells: @Chris Seveney primarily Padsplits  I would speak to a few lenders first before going through all these hoops, as I started to do this then when talking to banks they were basically telling me either get a secured mortgage as they will not lend to a real estate company on unsecured credit/debt.
